Distractions




Distraction can be something positive or something negative. What do I mean by that?


 Distraction can be a thing that prevents someone from concentrating on a given goal or it can be an extreme agitation of the mind. It can also be a process of diverting the attention of an individual or group from a desired area


But, positively, distraction can be an entertainment that provokes pleased interest and distracts you from worries and vexations. For example, when we have to wait on a queue, or at the airport for a longtime or even when we are sad, one can use games on the handy as distraction and one will not know when the time flies.


 So, let’s talk about the things that negatively distracts us.

We have external and internal factors that can distract us.  Some distractions come from outside and some from inside.

The external factors include Handy, visual triggers, social interactions, music, text messages, and phone calls. And the internal factors are hunger, fatigue, sleep, illness, worrying, and daydreaming.



How long can we concentrate?


 This is different from one person to the other and it is also depending on what you are doing. When you are involved in what you like, you tend to concentrate more. It also depends on the time of the day. Some people concentrate better in the mornings and others at night, while for some others, it makes no difference.


Know your body


 You need to study and understand your Body, when am I more productive, morning, afternoon, night or when under stress.

We get distracted from work, school or from fulfilling our dreams. And when we give in to distractions, things are delayed, and results postponed.



How to overcome distraction and stay focused


 Depending on the factor involved:

Use a laptop instead of a Handy

Put your phone on flight mode when you need to concentrate

Sleep, either a short power nap or just putting your legs up

Close your ear to negative criticism and forge ahead

Don’t let too much praise enter your head

Start the difficult things first

Prioritize your time

Learn to set limits and boundaries

Take deep breaths now and again

Skip what you don’t know



Use shorter time frames, instead of learning for 2 hours without gaining much, one can learn for 30 minutes and maximize the time well.



Distraction hides your work and steals your reward/result

Distractions when not controlled or overcome can make you lose or change direction.

You live your dream when you Know, develop and utilize your Talent

It is said that if your dream does not scare you it is not big enough. We must, we should, and we can dream and dream big. Big, very big. Just have a strong stairway to help you get there.

Starting Something New

Have you ever thought of starting something new? I would answer for you and say, yes of course. It might have been something big as a new building, a new relationship, a new career, a new business or as small as wanting to do a new dish or starting a new hobby. From my experience, starting something new can seem very far reaching or too big but at the same time very exciting. The problem, if I might call it that, is that, when we want to start something new, we must start a lot of other things afresh. We first look at the things that can prevent you from starting that new thing 1.        We are ALL afraid of failure 2.        We are not very flexible 3.        We ALL find change difficult 4.        We lack the needed knowledge 5.        We want to be perfect first before we start My personal challenge about starting something new is, feeling not good enough, even after getting all the needed information and all. But like I said, it is a “Feeling”.
